    Show AI Summary
    Essential character of a product determined by dominant cost component or defining functionality for classification.
    Determination of the essential character of a bundled product relies on two main tests: cost allocation, where the component with the highest share of parts or manufacturing cost typically imparts essential character (as in Xerox India Ltd.), and functionality, where the component that confers defining physical or operational attributes supplies the product's identity (as in Bakelite Hylam Ltd.).
    ManualsService Tax
    Whether service tax liability can be discharged by the agent, appointed by the service provider?
    Show AI Summary
    Agent discharge of service tax liability affirmed: agent payment treats provider's obligation as discharged, barring further adjudication.
    The service provider's tax obligation may be discharged by an appointed agent because section 65(7) of the Finance Act defines the assessee to include an agent; when an agent pays the service tax on the provider's behalf, the provider's liability is treated as discharged and subsequent show-cause adjudication is not warranted.
    ManualsService Tax
    What is the liability /consequence if service tax payment has been made in wrong head?
    Show AI Summary
    Service tax payment under wrong head still discharges liability; misclassification does not negate tax payment responsibility.
    Payment of service tax under an incorrect service classification does not, by itself, prevent the tax liability from being regarded as discharged; the essential consideration is that tax was remitted on behalf of the taxable activity, so recording the remittance under a different accounting head ordinarily cannot be used to deny satisfaction of the service tax demand.

    Show AI Summary
    Cash-basis service tax: optional payment on receipt for small providers and payment-trigger rules under reverse charge.
    Individuals and partnership firms below a prescribed turnover threshold in the previous financial year may opt to pay service tax on taxable services in the current year on a cash-receipt basis for supplies up to that threshold, with tax due in the month or quarter in which payment is received. Under the reverse charge mechanism, the service recipient may also discharge tax on a payment-received basis, but if payment is not made within a specified period after the invoice date the point of taxation shifts to the date immediately following that period.

    Show AI Summary
    Departmental circulars conflicting with statutory law lack binding effect and cannot constrain judicial interpretation or review.
    A departmental circular that furnishes an interpretation contrary to the provisions of law does not bind courts and cannot determine legal rights or obligations; administrative instructions must conform to statutory text, and a circular antagonistic to the statute is ineffective in judicial proceedings, as exemplified by the 1979 circular addressed in the authorities.

    Administrative circulars cannot prevail over the law laid down by the highest court; courts and tribunals must apply the Court's authoritative interpretation. A protective rule preserved benefits already granted under exemption notifications from reopening, but did not permit adjudicative bodies to follow circulars in preference to the Court's decision where entitlement was contested and proceedings were pending.

      Rationalisation of provision of transfer of capital asset to partner on dissolution or reconstitution

      The existing provisions of section 45 of the Act inter alia, provides that any profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head Capital gains and shall be deemed to be the income of the previous year in which such transfer takes place. Further sub-section (4) of the said section, provides that the profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset by way of distribution of capital assets on the dissolution of a firm or other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a co-operative society)or otherwise, shall be chargeable to tax as the income of such firm or other association of persons or body of individuals of the previous year in which the said transfer takes place. Further, the fair market value of the asset on the date of such transfer shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration for the purposes of section 48.

      In this regard, it has been noticed that there is uncertainty regarding applicability of provisions of aforesaid sub-section to a situation where assets are revalued or self- generated assets are recorded in the books of accounts and payment is made to partner or member which is in excess of his capital contribution.

      Hence, it is proposed to substitute the existing sub-section (4) of section 45 of the Act with a new sub-section (4) and also insert a new sub-section (4A) to this section.

      New proposed sub-section (4) of section 45 of the Act applies in a case where a specified person who receives during the previous year any capital asset at the time of dissolution or reconstitution of the specified entity. The capital asset represents the balance in the capital account of such specified person in the books of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution. In this situation, the profit and gains arising from the receipt of such capital asset by the specified person shall be chargeable to income-tax as income of the specified entity under the head “capital gains” and shall be deemed to be the income of such specified entity of the previous year in which the capital asset was received by the specified person. For the purposes of section 48 of the Act, the fair market value of the capital asset on the date of such receipt shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset. The balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of account of the specified entity is to be calculated without taking into account increase in the capital account of the specified person due to revaluation of any asset or due to self-generated goodwill or any other self-generated asset.

      New proposed section sub-section (4A) of section 45 of the Act applies in a case where a specified person receives during the previous year any money or other asset at the time of dissolution or reconstitution of the specified entity. The money or other asset is required to be in excess of the balance in the capital account of such specified person in the books of accounts of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution. In this situation, the profits or gains arising from the receipt of such money or other asset by the specified person shall be chargeable to income-tax as income of the specified entity under the head "Capital gains" and shall be deemed to be the income of such specified entity of the previous year in which the money or other asset was received by the specified person. For the purposes of section 48 of the Act,

      • value of the money or the fair market value of other asset on the date of such receipt shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset; and

      • the balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of accounts of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution shall be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

      The balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of account of the specified entity is to be calculated without taking into account increase in the capital account of the specified person due to revaluation of any asset or due to self- generated goodwill or any other self-generated asset.

      For the purposes of these two sub-sections,-

      • specified person” is proposed to be defined as a person who is partner of a firm or member of other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a cooperative society), in any previous year;

      • “specified entity” is proposed to be defined as a firm or other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a cooperative society);and

      • “self-generated goodwill” and “self –generated assets” are proposed to be defined as goodwill or asset, as the case may be, which has been acquired without incurring any cost for purchase or which has been generated during the course of the business or profession.

      Consequential amendment is also proposed in section 48 of the Act to provide that in case of specified entity, the amount included in the total income of such specified entity under sub-section (4A) of section 45 which is attributable to the capital asset being transferred, shall be reduced from the full value of the consideration to compute income charged under the head “capital gains”. This is to be calculated in the manner to be prescribed later. This is to mitigate the double taxation which may have happened but for this provision in a situation where an asset which was revalued and for which income under the proposed sub-section (4A) of section 45 of the Act was brought to tax is transferred subsequently by the specified entity.

      These amendments will be effective from the 1st April, 2021 and will accordingly apply to the assessment year 2021-22 and subsequent assessment years.
